Big Tony, the X Factor legend, passed away on Easter Sunday at the age of 64 while on a rugby tour. The tragic news was confirmed on social media by a family member.
His cousin, who shared a photo of Tony, wrote, “My family would like to inform you that my cousin, my cousin Big Tony, was Simon Cowell’s ex-bodyguard, passed away on Easter Sunday while on a rugby tour. He will be greatly missed, RIP Big T. He was a loving Rogue.
On its website, Hammersmith and Fulham RFC wrote in tribute to Tony Adkins, who passed away while on a tour of Poland with the club on Easter Sunday. “It is with a great sadness that the club pays tribute to a true gent and great Hammer, Tony Adkins, who passed away.
Bodyguard Tony frequently arrived to remove contestants from the audition rooms when they were irate or upset on The X Factor.
Tony revealed his thoughts on working with Simon after working on the show.
He previously stated to the Mirror, “Simon was a very nice and laid-back person. He also showed some generosity. You would receive an envelope thank you when the show ended, and this was at Christmas. The last one I received had a $ 700 sachet inside.
He is a very private individual, Tony continued. He doesn’t divulge much. Never do you see him driving or controlling. Simon is vain; he constantly does his hair.
Simon will do his hair five times during the five breaks in the movie. And he probably has about 20 identical T-shirts. He once had a hole in one, so he simply reached into a bag and pulled out another from a large pile.
Louis Walsh and Cheryl Cole, two other judges, were also discussed.
Louis constantly repeats, “Hello, hello, hello,” and is always up for a laugh. Dannii and Cheryl both have good chemistry and are open to talking to anyone, he said.
The judges used to get along, but now they’d also wind up.
“Louis, go and apologise,” Louis said if Simon thought Louis was being cruel toward an auditionee, but Louis would decline. So Louis would respond with a no, while Simon would ask him once more for a second apology.
“And they would just keep going, ending each other up.” But they had a truly close friendship.
